Opel

Opel is a German automotive brand founded in 1862 and headquartered in Rüsselsheim am Main, Germany. Originally established as a sewing-machine manufacturer before moving into automobiles, Opel is now part of Stellantis. The brand produces passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, with a growing focus on electrification and European market affordability. Its sustainability relevance is governed mainly through Stellantis’ group-level climate, responsible purchasing and supply-chain systems. Opel’s environmental footprint is concentrated in vehicle use-phase emissions, batteries, steel, aluminium, plastics, logistics, manufacturing inputs, circularity and end-of-life vehicle management.
